The death of Mr John S Sargent RA, which we announce with great regret on another page, has closed an epoch in English painting. For all his unfailing desire to learn and his constant freshness of spirit and method, this man of genius was the last supreme figure in a period in the history of English painting which is now past.The Times, London, Thursday 16 April 1925

Memorial to John Singer Sargent (1856-1925). Portland stone. An upright grave-marker, based on an Attic stele, inscribed at top 'LABORARE EST HONORARE', and at the foot 'HE GIVETH HIS BELOVED SLEEP'. HISTORY: the American painter Sargent was one of the finest artists of the late Victorian and Edwardian epochs, and is best-remembered for his society portraits in the grand manner. - Historic England
